I\'m trying to create a simple webapp without any XML configuration using Spring 3.1 and an embedded Jetty 8 server.

However, I\'m struggling to get Jetty to recogni

Answer 1

The code below did the trick in my maven project:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Server server = new Server();
    ServerConnector scc = new ServerConnector(server);
    scc.setPort(Integer.parseInt(System.getProperty("jetty.port", "8080")));
    server.setConnectors(new Connector[] { scc });

    WebAppContext context = new WebAppContext();
    context.setServer(server);
    context.setContextPath("/");
    context.setWar("src/main/webapp");
    context.getMetaData().addContainerResource(new FileResource(new File("./target/classes").toURI()));
    context.setConfigurations(new Configuration[]{
            new WebXmlConfiguration(),
            new AnnotationConfiguration()
    });

    server.setHandler(context);

    try {
        System.out.println(">>> STARTING EMBEDDED JETTY SERVER, PRESS ANY KEY TO STOP");
        System.out.println(String.format(">>> open http://localhost:%s/", scc.getPort()));
        server.start();
        while (System.in.available() == 0) {
            Thread.sleep(5000);
        }
        server.stop();
        server.join();
    } catch (Throwable t) {
        t.printStackTrace();
        System.exit(100);
    }

}
